Re: Any ROSPA test tips

...don't fanny about... Love it...sounds better than 'make good, safe, progress' - one to add to my list of comments. I think your reference in a later post to 'the well known driving coach' explaining he was enjoying your drive...I am conscious that I don't praise or pass on my enjoyment enough wh...
